A SPELLBINDING ADVENTURE FOR TEEN READERS, perfect for fans of Holly Smale, Zoe Sugg and Rainbow Rowell. Look out for Amy McCulloch’s THE MAGPIE SOCIETY series, co-written with Zoe Suggs and COMING SOON!
(Contains: potions, princesses, peril, a magical quest and a serious crush) When the Princess of Nova accidentally poisons herself with a love potion meant for her crush, she falls crown-over-heels in love with her own reflection. Oops. A nationwide hunt is called to find the cure, with competitors travelling the world for the rarest ingredients, deep in magical forests and frozen tundras, facing death at every turn. Enter Samantha Kemi – an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent. Sam’s family were once the most respected alchemists in the kingdom, but they’ve fallen on hard times, and winning the hunt would save their reputation. But can Sam really compete with the dazzling powers of the Zoro Aster megapharma company? Just how close is Sam willing to get to Zain Aster, her dashing former classmate and enemy, in the meantime? And just to add to the pressure, this quest is ALL OVER social media. And the world news. No big deal, then.SELECTED FOR THE ZOELLA BOOK CLUB IN 2016

Reviews
The action, the romance , the high stakes and constant pressure, this book has it all! I love every aspect of this book, I could not put this book down, I read it all in a day so I could see what would happen next. I liked how the last ingredient was not something anyone would really think about and I liked how the description made me feel like I was really in the jungles of Bharat and the streets of Nova.

Mysterious, adventurous, magical and funny. Does have 2 or 3 swear words though.

Very magical and it keeps you guessing and guessing. It also tricks you into thinking something but it is another. Surprisingly it is written in first person point of view and present tense.
